Look. We are not asking much...
You wrote a book with a black heroine? Cool! Awesome, even! Representation is awesome!
But the part that makes me cringe is when you make race the CONFLICT!
Why!?
If it was white heroine, this would not have even been in the reader's radar.
This book was going to be 3star for me, even a 4star, but then we reached the climax.
The author made the main conflict of the story about the fact that the heroine is black and the hero's parents are racist...

Surely the sweetest hero these authors ever wrote. Good guy.
Nice likable heroine.
But her mother was the best. I wish more girls would be raised with such attitude:

Once again Max Monroe has aced the recipe for a written romantic comedy. The MC’s meet cute was... well cute. Their side characters are funny and interesting. Quinn is the perfect hero. The perfect mix of confident, self-deprecating, and swoony. Cat is sassy, fun, and relatable. Quinn and Cat together are the perfect mix of fun, sweet, and steamy!

On the plane he meets the most beautiful and fascinating and adorable woman he's ever seen. Catharine. Cat. She's a flight attendant. And Quinn is halfway in love before they even leave JFK.
But Cat is not really sure what to think of this mega-hottie who is constantly looking at her. And then he's also on the same train into Birmingham!!!! And they talk ...more

This was my first book from Max Monroe duo and I am not impressed at all...
2,5 stars but not 3.
***********************************************
The book is about the love story of an interracial couple and it begins in a very sweet way. I liked it up until their first date. The way he pursued her until she said yes to a date was good and I really had fun. But then, their first date came and it was awkward (in a studio painting pictures because she loves art). It ended with a kiss. Then, their seco ...more

Yes! Yes! A million times yes! I LOVED THIS BOOK! Gah! It's made me so darn happy. The writing duo of Max Monroe know how to write a romantic comedy. And even better they know how to write the best damn book boyfriend ever. The number one reason to read this book: QUINN BAILEY!!!! My god. I want a Quinn! Where do I find one exactly like him? He was all kinds of perfect from his southern manners, to his wit and charm, to his good looks and dirty talking ways. Not to mention he was a romantic. Gah

This one was pretty good. I could have done without the list online of his former girlfriends- especially since it was mentioned that he hadn't had any relationships prior to the h. And after the h saw all the stuff online it was never mentioned again. Quinn and Cat were sweet together.

Wildcat by Max Monroe is a good start to the Mavericks Tackle Love series. While I did enjoy the story for the most part, I felt like I have read something very similar before (hence the reason why I gave it 3 stars). For me as a reader, I crave originality in the books I read and this was missing that.

I loved this book. Not your typical sports romance where the hero is a man-whore, but this hero is definitely a guy worth getting to know. His romance style was so fun, and allowed Cat to get to know him on a different level. I loved their banter and communication.
Quinn was a superstar quarterback, while Cat was a young flight attendant trying to make something of herself. Their meet-cute was perfect and their friendship became so much fun I just couldn't put the book down. There was some drama, ...more

4.25 Kitten Stars!
Wow, the conflict in this book is right on topic for the ignorant people we still have in the world today.
In true form this writing duo has created a funny sexy RomCom with a smoking hot hero and an independently strong heroine. Quinn, I already had a little feel for from some of the other Max Monroe books I have read that he appeared in and so I knew he would be a character I would like. Cat is a beautiful biracial flight attendant who just recently moved to New York.

I’m completely, utterly, and ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN with this book! I’m a goner! I’m a puddle of FEELS! I’m head over heels! I’m too far-gone! There’s no coming back from this! You haven’t met the perfect book boyfriend until you meet Quinn FUCKING Bailey! That man has RUINED me for all others. This series…these characters…the HILARIOUS banter all throughout…OMG!

I've finished this feeling like I should have liked it much more than I did, but for some reason it just didn't have me sinking into my sofa and getting lost in the story. Depth was lacking and I didn't find myself drawn that much to the MCs.
I wish more had been done when it came to the so-called plot twist. What happened was so lacklustre, the prejudices and racism of the hero's parent's not dealt with, not inserted into the story as compellingly as they could have been.

Quinn Bailey is the sweetest football player I've ever read. He's kind, thoughtful,considerate and everyone loves him. Cat was a beautiful,awkward shy flight attendant and the connection between these 2 was beautiful to read. From the moment I read Cat's description I was interested to see if these authors would boldly go THERE and they did! Quinn's thoughts on the matter were wonderful and exactly what was needed in handling the issue.

Boring characters and storyline.
I loved Max Monroe's Billionaire Bad Boys series and was really excited for Wildcat because I love sports romances. Unfortunately, Wildcat fell short of my expectation. I found myself counting down the chapters until this book was over. The pace was really slow at the beginning with nothing happening in the story until about 40% in. In my opinion, both Cat and Quinn lacked any personality and I found myself wishing for more of the secondary characters Sean and Den ...more

Quinn Bailey, the star quarterback for the New York Mavericks, is taking a few days off from preseason to visit his parents and little brother in Birmingham, Alabama. When he boarded his RoyalAir flight, he expected a few hours of quiet time, some music, but what he wasn’t expecting was to encounter Catharine, the extremely beautiful and charming flight attendant.
Cat, only a flight attendant for 6-months, was getting used to the on-the-go life of air crew. Luckily, her fellow attendants—Casey a ...more

Wildcat was the first book in the Mavericks Tackle Love series by Max Monroe, an author duo. It was my first book by the authors.
Quinn Bailey was the quarterback for the NFL team, the New York Mavericks. He was gorgeous, famous, focused, admired, well liked and well respected.
Catharine “Cat” Wild was a flight attendant that Quinn met when he traveled from New York back to his hometown in Alabama. She was not a sports lover so she had no idea who he was other than the sexy and nice man in 2A.

Quinn Bailey stole my heart and kept it right in his pocket for the entire book! So if you read the Billionaire Bad Boys series from Max Monroe you'll definitely recognize Quinn Bailey as the playful, flirty QB from Wes's team the New York Mavericks. If you haven't read don't despair it's not necessary but it sure is fun if you recognize the mention and appearances of favorite characters in this one.

When you think that Max Monroe cant possibly create set of characters to rival The Billionaire Bad Boys - Kline,Thatch and Wes, hold on to your kindles ladies....Meet Quinn Bailey....sweet and a whole lot of swoonworthy, he is my new fictional boyfriend, ticking allll my boxes! Cat is a great character who deserves nothing but happiness and a hea. Brilliant,feel good 5 star read. I could read Max Monroe every day and NEVER get bored. Cabt wait for the next Mavericks instalment!

Okay, okay. I did it. I finally read a Max Monroe book. What took me so long? Hell, I honestly have no fucking clue. Is it a lack of time? Am I afraid the books won't live up to the hype? Whatever my excuses were in the past, I have to let them go. And I need to go find me a bad boy billionaire because after meeting Quinn Bailey, I'm sure I'll love all of the Max Monroe books. ALL. OF. THEM.
